be made in a non rotating system? By the time CERN sends and OPERA
receives the Earth rotation makes OPERA to come a bit closer. How
many of you agree or disagree with this?
Silvertooth, Bryan G. Wallace, GPS and laser gyroscopes also
supports this view. It is not suitable to apply the principle of
relativity in a non inertial rotating frame.

This hypothesis appears to me to be false. I calculate the motion at
latitude of Gran Sasso to be 0.833 m in the 2.435x10^-3 S it takes
light to travel the 730 km distance. I estimate the angle to
lattitude to CERN to be about 33.6 degrees. This means the path
length between CERN and Gran Sasso is elongated by cos(33.5°)*0.833 m
= 0.615 m. The anomaly is 18.1 m early arrival. Assuming this was
not taken into account by the team (unlikely) then it could only
account for a 0.615/18.1 = 3.4% error.
I can provide detailed calcs later. I have to go for an MRI and
other tests today which may take the rest of the day.
